The Yankees secured their second consecutive series win on Saturday, defeating the Pirates 6-3 in the middle game of this series at PNC Park. They now sit at three games above .500 and are 5-1 in their last six games. Since scuffling for much of the summer, they are now also 5-1 in their last six series.
All systems were go from the jump for the Yankees offense. They took full advantage of starter Luis L. Ortiz’s wildness — to start things off, DJ LeMahieu and Gleyber Torres worked walks, and then Austin Wells scored LeMahieu with a line-drive double up against the center field wall.
